    In fairness though City have dropped ten points all season, that’s ridiculous. No one was getting near them this season.

    Chelsea are destined to be inconsistent whilst they maintain their policy of sacking managers at the drop of a hat. No conte hasn’t done well this season, but for me you don’t sack a manager who won the title the previous season unless he’s going to get you relegated.

    I’m not sure why they got themselves into the situation they did with Diego Costa
    I'd agree with that, Liverpools attack is phenomenal and they're great to watch, if they can somehow sort out their defence and keeper they'll be quite a team. Spurs are good all round, not a good in attack as Liverpool but they have Kane who scores for fun and a couple others that work hard and scores goals, defensively they're pretty good, the most well rounded of the challengers.

    Yes City have been phenomenal, but again their attack is phenomenal, Aguero, Silva, De Bruyne, Jesus and Sterling who's pace they are making the most of, they also very good defensively which helps.

    Conte messed up with Costa, he was basically their star striker, their go to guy for goals, they sold him and replaced him with a guy who has been massively ovehyped since the day he came on the scene, Matic was a big loss too, Bakayoko may well turn out decent but he's not settle yet. I don't know what to make of Conte, I know they won the title but I remember us playing them and beating them 3-0 and was surprised at how easy we found it, again in the up final we managed to get one over them, then he falls out with his goalscorer (big mistake), something about Conte isn't quite right for me.

    It might be he didn't pick the players that were brought in, but he seemed happy enough with Morata who is awful IMO, the bigger issue for me is how average Chelsea look though, how he's turned title winners into such an average side is beyond me.

    anyone confident about winning any of them?

    might as well focus on the Europa league... and that can be Wengers parting gift to us.
    Wouldn't be surprised if we didn't win any of them. Leicester and Man U are definite losses IMO, Newcastle, Brighton and Huddersfield are 50/50.

    I agree with this, I actually think Chelsea are as bad as us, I honestly don't rate them. If they lose Hazard this summer they are in deep sh*t IMO.

    Their recruitment is pretty questionable too, Drinkwater and Barkley?!!! Even some of their foreign buys have been questionable, I mean Morata they massively overpaid for, Bakayoko may come good...that Italian guy they have as backup wingback is just OK....they have spent millions on garbage IMO.

    It’s actually hard to know. It really depends on the other teams rather than us. Huddersfield you’d imagine will either be safe or relegated when we play them on the last day of the season so I think that’s a win.

    Have we ever lost to Leicester in the premier league?

    There’s no reason other than mathematical why we shouldn’t pick up 32 points from those fixtures.
    If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.

    Finally watched the highlights of this shitshow on MOTD. Didn't see it at the time, but it's fucking Xhaka AGAIN that lets the guy he's supposed to be covering just waltz past him. What a liability he is and what the hell is Wenger thinking constantly starting him when he's been making the same mistakes all season long?

    Cech is getting some stick these days, but without him we'd have come out of that with a good hiding, maybe 4 or 5 goals.

    The Lacazette chances were good ones but hardly on a plate as some hysterical fans are claiming. It would have been funny to rob a point, but it also would have been a travesty in terms of how the match went. Our first effort on their goal was from Jack deep into the second half. Totally unacceptable and entirely down to the, now standard, cowardice of Wenger.

    15 Games ago in 2015 was the last time we beat one of the current top 5 away from home. How can any manager of a supposed top club survive that? 7 points off 5th place, 8 off the top 4 and you might as well call it 9 when you look at the goal difference. We're done. We'll need the spuds and the chavs to both collapse to stand any chance of stealing a top 4 spot, and even if that happened you just know we'd fuck it up anyway.

    We're really starting the experience the pain of a decline that was inevitable and so easily predictable under this has-been of a manager. Can you even blame him for hanging on like a bad stench? That bastard Kroenke made the decision and no wonder he's silent, because how can he possibly justify it?

    Is it too late to react?

    Sod it let me just enjoy watching this American girl land a triple axle in the figure skating. A lot more exciting than Arsenal right now.

    Yep, the goal happened when Ozil was pressing and missed his tackle but Xhaka should been pressing with Ozil. If this were Liverpool or City you'd see two or three players pressing and covering areas. That's what really pissed me off about Xhaka and Elneny. They stood off the opposition and left them with all the space in the world. Xhaka should have been closing him down. Absolute chaos. What were the instructions? Why was Ozil pressing in that situation and coming infield to leave the flank exposed?
